Minda has written articles for The Daily Nation, Kenya's leading newspaper, and for the Collegian, a publication of the Houston Baptist University Mass Media department.

She studied Communication Science at the University of Muenster and Mass Media at Houston Baptist University. She is currently completing a Master's degree in Christian Counseling.

Minda is also working on publishing a poetry book and has ventured into the field of "Spoken Word," performing her poetry at open mic venues.
